The Anacreontic Song - sheet musicAIH-sm

A modern edition of “The Anacreontic Song," also known as "To Anacreon in Heaven,” with in-depth commentary and illustrations. Transcribed by Kate Van Winkle Keller, with contributions of David Hildebrand. This is the first edition of the melody that would eventually become that of our National Anthem, and it was apparently published in London the same year in which Francis Scott Key was born (1779).
